Yep.

I get quite unnerved when I am in a cabin with all the shades down, especially at takeoff and landing and especially on narrowbodies. It's just an overwhelming sensation of vertigo. I don't know how other people don't have the same issues.

And F is definitely titled more towards the 'all shades closed' flyers. I was asked twice this year to lower my shade while sitting in F by the person in the aisle due to 'screen glare'. I think in all my 200 trips in Y, I was only asked once by another passenger if I could lower my shade. Both times, I told them I would lower it to within a couple inches at cruising altitude and they seemed to be satisfied enough with that. And I am comfortable with just a couple inches at cruising at light, but, I make sure to disrupt them and use the bathroom one extra time just to even out the score. (okay, I don't make a point of it, but if they feel like taking away my benefit of the window, then I don't feel bad about making them accommodate me wanting to use the restroom).
